A method of manufacturing hot rolled steel strip from continuously cast input stock in successive work steps includes adjusting strip-shaped input stock after solidification to hot rolling temperature and introducing the input stock into a multiple-stand rolling mill for rolling into finished strip. The rolled stock is heated by an inductive heating unit at least between the first stand and the second stand.
Description
RAC~OUND OF THE lN Vh~ llON
1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing hot rolled steel strip from continuously cast input stock in successive work steps, wherein, after solidification, strip-shaped input stock is adjusted to hot rolling temperature and the input stock is introduced into a multiple-stand rolling mill for rolling into finished strip.
1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing hot rolled steel strip from continuously cast input stock in successive work steps, wherein, after solidification, strip-shaped input stock is adjusted to hot rolling temperature and the input stock is introduced into a multiple-stand rolling mill for rolling into finished strip.
2. Description of the Related Art In accordance with a newly developed technology for the economical manufacture of hot wide strip, a so-called thin slab having a thickness of, for example, 50mm, is produced in a continuous casting machine particularly constructed for this purpose. After solidification and temperature equalization, the thin slabs are conveyed in a roller conveyor furnace to the rolling train and are rolled to the desired final thickness.
When designing the rolling plant, it is important for economical reasons to use as few roll stands as possible.
Rolling plants have already been realized which make it possible, with strip widths of up to 1350mm for steels having low carbon contents, to achieve a final thickness of 2.5mm by using only 21~10g7 four roll stands. Such a plant is already known from DE 36 37 893 A1. In the known method and the arrangement for carrying out the method, the strip-shaped input stock is adjusted to rolling temperature after solidification and is introduced into a rolling mill for rolling out into finished strip, wherein rolling is carried out continuously in at most three or four roll stands with the pass reductions being as great as possible. In the first two roll stands, approximately maximum rolling moments and large work roll diameters are used.
However, more stands are required when smaller final thicknesses and greater widths of the rolled stock are to be obtained. Consequently, because of the greater length of the plant resulting from the increased temperature drop, an increase of the rolling speed must be accepted. However, because of the increased drive powers required for this purpose, this increase of the rolling speed is frequently not desirable and not even feasible. In addition, usually not more than seven stands are considered for a rolling train.
However, for example, in the case of increased material strengths, it may even be possible that a train with seven stands is not capable of achieving final thicknesses of less than 2mm if the steel strip has a great width. The reason for this limitation of the reduction capacity is essentially the fact that 21~1097 the permissible reduction must be limited in the first stand because of the cast structure present in the first stand. This is a particular disadvantage because in the first stand the rolling temperature still is in the order of magnitude of 1,000C, so that great reductions would be possible because of the low material strength. In the second stand, on the other hand, the material has already essentially recrystallized and the temperature of the rolled stock has dropped by approximately 50C. Consequently, the possible pass reduction in the second stand is limited by the required rolling moment or the required rolling force. Even if the maximum stand capacity is utilized in the second stand and all following stands, the desired final thickness of less than 2mm can frequently not be achieved.

SUMMARY OF THE lNvh~llON
Therefore, it is the primary object of the present invention to provide a method and an arrangement for the manufacture of hot rolled steel strip from continuously cast input stock which avoid the above-mentioned difficulties and technical limitations and make it possible to roll a thin slab having a thickness of approximately 50mm into a final thickness of less than 2mm without increasing the number of stands or the drive power.
In accordance with the present invention, the above object is met by heating the rolled stock at least between the first stand and the second stand.
The feature provided in accordance with the present invention leads to an advantageous increase of the initial pass temperature in the second stand which leads to an increase of the initial pass temperatures also in all other subsequent stands, so that greater total reduction capacities can be achieved in the second stand and in all other subsequent stands. The feature according to the present invention results in a significant increase of the total reduction capacity of the rolling mill and, thus, makes it possible to achieve the desired final thicknesses of less than 2mm.
2 i ~ 7 In accordance with a preferred feature, the rolled stock is heated by a predetermined temperature value as it passes through an induction heating unit.
In accordance with a further development, the rolled stock is heated between the first and the second stand to the same pass temperature as it has in the first stand.
In accordance with another further development, the rolled stock is heated additionally following the second stand and possibly following additional subsequent stands.
In accordance with another feature of the present invention, heating of the rolled stock between at least two stands is carried out in dependence on the desired final thickness and the given material strength and number of stands in view of the limited rolling speed, torques and/or rolling forces in the case of an insufficient reduction capacity.
Since an inductive heating unit can be switched on and off and the intensity of the heating unit can be adjusted, the method according to the present invention makes possible an extremely sensitive and controllable adjustment of the temperature of the rolled stock to optimum rolling parameters of each individual stand. As a result, the object of achieving a minimum output thickness of the rolled stock is achieved in an uncomplicated 214iO97 manner without increasing the number of stands and without increasing the drive power or the rolling speed.
In accordance with another feature of the invention, a synchronous operation of always two roll stands between which the rolled stock is being heated is controlled in a loop-free manner by means of a minimum pull control.
In a continuous casting plant with a subsequently arranged multiple-stand continuous rolling mill for manufacturing hot rolled steel strip from strip-shaped continuously cast input stock in successive work steps for carrying out the above-described method, wherein the strip-shaped input stock is adjusted to rolling temperature after solidification and is introduced into the rolling mill for rolling into a finished strip, the rolling mill includes an induction heating unit between the first roll stand and the second roll stand.
The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of the disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages, specific objects attained by its use, reference should be had to the drawing and descriptive matter in which there are illustrated and described preferred embodiments of the invention.
